  3. "Sasha" is the father of Belarus, he will make it all better! (i am being very sarcastic, it's a joke). Also I know all you journo's at UATV know this, I write this comment o educate the readers who don't live here. Anyway, It's funny, Lukashenka nicknamed himself "father", In Ukrainian "bat'ko", Belarusian = "bats'ka". Belarusians call him something far more rude & appropriate (cockroach), but he is also known as "kartoplyanik" here in Ukraine - it's a type of potato pie, but colloquially in English it's maybe "the man from potato land" (and by extension "potato dictator"). From wikitionary.... бацька Noun ба́цька • (bácʹka) m pers (genitive ба́цькі, nominative plural ба́цькі, genitive plural ба́цькаў, relational adjective ба́цькаўскi, diminutive ба́цечка) father, dad (plural only) parents (colloquial) a nickname for president of Belarus Alyaksandr Lukashenka 🤡

  4. Decent conversation, at the 7:20 mark the host mentions how the west is scared off by "Putin's wrath" but that wrath is perpetrated on us here in Ukraine. The people in the west don't suffer this "wrath". Exactly, So this brings to my point. one of guests, I won't mention which one, were talking about the loss of Pokrovsk, vs the Kursk operation. What really pissed me off, is they kept saying how "Pokrovsk doesn't matter strategically". Well, Pokrovsk matters to me and the 65,000 other people who have a home there. Again, it's easy for them to comment like that because...they don't live in Ukraine and have a home here that they might lose, but they are ostensibly on our side. But still the same ignorance similar to the western allies fear of the "wrath" that we suffer here. The western allies aren't suffering the "wrath" and one of these guests who was talking about how "Pokrovsk doesn't matter" isn't suffering the loss of a home! I am not even Ukrainian, my wife is and I bought that flat in Pokrovsk to replace the one she lost in Makiivka, in the so-called DNR in 2014. Pokrovsk matters to me, it was my home town for 8 of the ten years I'be been in Ukraine.

  5. Operator Starsky 💯 on point about his fears of the Yanukovich win in 2010. The thing that I can never forgive Yanukovich for, (among 1000 other reasons) is that, during the presidency of Victor Yushchenko the Ukrainian government declared that the Black Sea lease would not be extended and that the fleet would have to leave Sevastopol by 2017. Well guess who cancelled that decision of the Rada and renewed it ?   From the wikipedia article "Kharkiv Pact" - "The agreement, signed on 21 April 2010 in Kharkiv, Ukraine, by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and ratified by the parliaments of the two countries on 27 April 2010, aroused much controversy in Ukraine. The treaty was effectively a continuation of the lease provisions that were part of the 1997 Black Sea Fleet Partition Treaty between the two states. Shortly after the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in March 2014, Russia unilaterally terminated the treaty on 31 March 2014"

  7.  @Mopsisgone  Indeed, as you probably know, the name of city comes from the word "Pokrov" which means "The protection of the Mother of God", so let's hope Mother Mary puts her veil of protection over the city, and the Ukrainian Army pulls off a boss move to save the city!

  8. Victory might have to come in stages. We get the borders as agrred at Belovezha in 1991, but in stages. Any chance of a clear cut victory was lost long ago, because we were never given what we needed 2 years ago, we got it all in stages up to now. the "escalation management" of the white house has not served us well. Samuel Charap is just another "John Mearsheimer" essentially, he's the one of many poisoning Jake Sullivans ear. Everyone forgets when the USSR collapsed it had 40,000 (yes 40,000, not a typo) nuclear devices and that was dealt with ok, Why is ruzzia's 7,000 nukes a worry ? The world can deal with that too. ruzzia has to go, if it exists as it, it will always be a threat to us here.

  9. With all this loss of power generation here, we need to get the ZNPP back to Ukraine. This should be the biggest priority for any new counter-offensive ? tak ?

  10.  @UATVEnglish  oh, so I suppose if all the territories are recovered eventually, any CHPP's returned to Ukraine would also be sabotaged and the same situation as explained above for the thermal power plants too. 😥
